Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 287 Difficult! (two more)
"My boy, half of the property! So much money!" Sixi's eyes were full of round square hole coins, and said in amazement, "Wow... there must be a brave man under this reward!"

"The effect of this policy can be said to be immediate," Hong Lianshuo said with an unkind smile. "The businessmen and merchants are almost wiped out. The confiscated property is worth hundreds of millions."

Chen Zhongyuan almost stared out of the window, "What a mother! This move is ruthless, powerful, and clever."

"This businessman doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, so he can deal with it as he wants." Jiang Shuisheng smacked his lips and said, "He deliberately gave them time to hide, and let the people report it after five years. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also understood human nature too well. Come on!"

"Emperor Wu is so strong and courageous. If he was an incompetent emperor, he would have been replaced long ago." Cui Ming snorted softly.

Hong Lianshuo nodded happily, it seemed very clear!

"There are tens of millions of servants, hundreds of hectares of land in large counties, and more than a hundred hectares in small counties. It's not finished after they are wiped out." Hong Lianshuo looked at them energetically and said, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also used the supervisory office directly under the imperial court to Continue to control local tyranny and prevent resurgence. In the first year of Yuanfeng, the imperial court directly issued the "Six Laws of the Supervision of the County", commonly known as the Six Han Articles. Bully the weak, bully the few by the crowd, this set of decrees is mainly aimed at the local yamen system, directly dispatching court officials to monitor whether the local tyrants have violated the law or discipline." After a pause, he continued, "However, just like the first emperor, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty The sharp approach of attacking tyrants, the effect only lasted his dynasty. In the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, not only the local tyrants revived, but also the tyrants who were suppressed by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and forced to migrate to Maoling. Their descendants formed the children of Maoling. This new powerful class added two new groups of power, eunuchs and foreign relatives, to compete for power and jealousy. It continued until the demise of the Western Han Dynasty."

"Ah! Why did it stop abruptly?" Chen Zhongyuan said with great regret, "It sounds like blood is boiling!"

"These descendants will not live up to expectations." Jiang Shuisheng sighed heavily.

"Never expect a strong man to change the future of the world, the right way is to not change your original intention." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with cold eyes and said.

"The main reason is that there are no successors!" Han Qinhu couldn't help but sighed.

"Policy continuity is very important for people to die." Hong Lianshuo patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Human nature is eternal, so education is particularly important."

"What about the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Sixi asked curiously.

"It goes without saying that it was the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was really the golden age of local wealthy families, until the courts of the Wei and Jin Dynasties lost power and were completely divided." Hong Lianshuo said with a sneer, "Actually, no one has taken action during this period, and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also took action. Once fiercely attacked the powerful, the effect was not bad, but the Western Han Dynasty behind it was controlled by foreign relatives and eunuchs in turn."

"Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was supported by local tyrants." Lin Nanzheng looked at them with dark phoenix eyes and said, "Now the gentry's power is outrageous, and the main reason is that the invasion of Yi and Di has not yet appeared. Look at the south, then The power of the gentry can overtake the emperor."

"Then there is no other way?" Han Qinhu said with some frustration, "Can't the country be rich and the people strong?"

Hong Lianshuo looked at him without blinking, resting his chin on one hand and said, "Do you think the gentry know about this situation?"

"Those who are familiar with classics and history should know!" Ye Yunyu looked at her with deep black eyes and said.

"Then why didn't you stop it?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them coldly and said.

"It's really hard to help the building collapse! It's impossible for ordinary people to give up their own interests." Ye Yunyu pinched her skirt and said, "Now I kind of understand what you mean."

"Oh!" Hong Lianshuo looked at her with interest when he heard this, with his black eyebrows slightly raised.

"Madam Hong, have you ever heard that the imperial power does not come down to the county?" Ye Yunyu looked at her with unusually bright eyes and said.

"I have heard." Hong Lianshuo nodded lightly and said, "These vast rural areas are controlled by the landlords."

"The Yidi attack the city because they have few people, and they can only control the city." Ye Yunyu frowned and looked at them and said, "Ninety percent of the population is still under the control of the landlords. As long as they pay taxes on time, they don't care Who is sitting on this throne?"

"Yes!" Hong Lianshuo nodded with a smile, "As long as the emperor above pardons the world and reduces taxes, it will be more like the landlord's heart and the landlord's will."

"These powerful landlords really have no benevolence in their hearts. The world is just a selfish moth." Lin Nanzheng said angrily, "It's really unscrupulous for profit."

Looking at them with dark eyes, Hong Lianshuo said again, "Food is the most important thing for the people, and agriculture is the cornerstone of the country. Ninety percent of the population is engaged in agriculture. Controlling the rural landlords is the decisive factor. Whoever they turn to will control the world. .”

"These landlords really should deal with them, it's too hateful!" Lin Nanzheng said indignantly when he heard the words, and then said with some worry, "Compared with them, they are powerful and rich, so it's hard to deal with them!"

"It's the landlords who broke the law and discipline. I didn't knock down a boatload of people with one blow." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with eyes like glass beads and said.

"It's not against the law, there are so many lands!" Han Qinhu snorted coldly, "To be honest, it's impossible to earn so much money by farming the land diligently."

Hong Lianshuo shook his head and laughed when he heard the words, "So we are taking a different path from them, an unknown path."

"Can it be successful?" Han Qinhu frowned and looked at her and said, "It's not that I look down on the mud-legged people. They are ignorant, blindly follow and follow others' opinions. It's not that I'm biased, most of them only care about immediate interests. Some things need time to develop proven."

"So! Reading and reading can make sense." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with bright eyes and said, "Improve farm tools, improve the efficiency of farming, and then increase the yield per mu." Pointing to his head, "The most important thing is here, Armed here. The strength of a country lies in the consciousness of the masses. Gold and silver lures can corrode a person's body, but only the spirit can make a person truly alive. People are like this, and so is the country."

"You can't be subdued if you are mighty, and you can't be lewd if you are rich..." Ye Yunyu looked at her with bright eyes and said, "It's hard? How can I resist it!"

"Walking on the road, the world is for the public!" Han Qinhu said slowly but forcefully after hearing the words.

"Take the responsibility of the common people in the world and seek the well-being of the people." Hong Lianshuo said while looking at them with deep and honest eyes.
